If I had to describe myself, it would be in a word that has many meanings with a complexity which falls off the tongue.A word made up of many elements, is deceptive in appearance, and creates an illusion from the imagination. My word would be Phantasmagoric. ~Summer Ross

As the son of a mechanic and long-time assistant to said mechanic, I can say this: "We know stuff too!" lol

In seriousness, I think that's the one thing writing has brought to my attention--how much I can learn and still know so little. I consider myself to be reasonably well-read and have a pretty wide range of knowledge (something I pride myself on, in fact); however, I'm constantly looking up some little tidbit fact or other for a story. Usually things I think I should already know, but have zero clue. :)

If you feel bad, so should Lewis Carroll - he didn't have an answer in mind when he wrote it. Eventually, after being bugged about it a bunch, he later wrote; "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!' This, however, is merely an afterthought; the Riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all." So you were actually more correct that you thought. :)

I never knew the answer to that question -- always intended to look it up someday. Of course, now it's obvious. Damn.My 7 year old asked me this one: A cowboy rode into town on Friday. He stayed two days then left on Friday. Explain.I figured it out right away and was proud of myself.Quills. Argh!
